As a feature, I was wondering if anyone is interested in xawtv/bttv muting
the audio during channel changes.  The static-blast just prior to channel
locking is very irritating.  Has someone already implemented this?  Is there
any interest?  Will this break some other compatability issues?

I'd say that this would be a xawtv feature more that a bttv driver issue.
Someone may want the noise...

The driver is supported to mute the sound while switching channels.  Look at
set_freq() in bttv.c.

Ehm, btw:  Why the kernel version of bttv has the "audio(btv, AUDIO_MUTE);"
removed?  bttv-0.6.3 has it, and it has been there for ages...

xawtv/main.c, set_channel().  Just enable the #if 0 code parts.  If you
are using the sound card to control the volume, it probably helps,
otherwise I expect it does'nt fix the problem.

All the kernel ones have it removed. It makes life awkward for people 
who happen to want audio all the time or who are scannig channels.
